The Gang's All Here

Last night at 11pm my son and daughter-in-law pulled into my driveway. They are here for a 3 day visit. I was thrilled to see them. I set them up in my son's old room. Every time he visits he says that he feels like a giant in a tiny space. After many years we have concluded that the building standards in Massachusetts are different than in New York. Kitchen and bathroom counter tops are at a higher level where they live. Even a few inches makes a big difference. Bathroom light switches must be placed outside of the room, while I have them on the inside. Each time he visits he rummages through his old desk drawers hoping to find a treasure. Each time he finds something new that he takes home with him. This time it was a container of wheat pennies from the 1940's. I never cleaned out his drawers when he relocated so there are items in them that have been untouched since 2004. When they are here the family circle is complete.
